This book investigates the representation of civilian and military drones in visual arts, literature, and architecture.What emerges, is a compelling new aesthetic: ‘drone imaginary’, a prism of cultural and critical knowledge, through which the complex interplay between drone technology and human communities is explored, and from which its historical, cultural and political dimensions can be assessed. The contributors offer diverse approaches to this interdisciplinary field of aesthetic drone imaginaries.With essays on the aesthetic configurations of drone swarming, historical perspectives on early unmanned aviation, as well as current debates on how drone technology alters the human body and creates new political imaginaries, this book provides new insights to the rapidly evolving field of drone studies.Working across art history, literature, photography, feminism, postcolonialism and cultural studies, it offers a unique insight into how drones are changing our societies. -- .
